18650 Flashligth -help me decide please

[kenL]

Hi guys I am in the market for an 18650 flashlight.
Please help me choose one; the most important features are:

• Output with good runtime
• Regulated
• Smooth beam profile with little or none artifact

I narrowed them down to these 3 flashlights

Fenix TK11 R2
Dereelight CL1H V4 R2 3SD
Darktort DT-1.0E

I know the above lights had been discussed and reviewed in this site, but would like to know from personal experience, someone who has at least two of these lights for comparison.

Thanks in advance!!!:twothumbs:twothumbs:twothumbs

Why not the EagleTac T10L ?

If I were buying an 18650 light from your list I'd have to buy the Dark Tort, now the initial problems are worked out it looks like a very nice light. Seems to be very easy to upgrade too.

Definitely consider the Eagletac T10L. It has a VERY nice smooth beam with few artifacts or dark spots.
The TK11 has a smooth reflector, so it isn't your best choice if you really need a beam with few artifacts.
